When we come back to the things that really matter, then peace begins to settle into our lives like the golden sunlight sifting to a forest floor. And somewhere deep down inside, we know that simplier times are better times. Making a friend takes a moment, being a friend takes a lifetime. Those who love are but one step from heaven ~James Russell Lowell Where there is truth, there is love. Where there islove, there is honesty. These two together, make happiness. In all the world there is no greater pleasure than the loving heart that a family treasures. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~Mark Twain~ The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been. ~Alan Ashley-Pitt~ When a person has a real friend, he learns not only to appreciate another human being, but also he learns to understand himself better. ~Susan Polis Schutz~ Virute is the performance of pleasant actions ~James Stephens~ As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might. ~Marian Anderson~ Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. ~Anonymous~ For most of us knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again? ~Rachel Carson~ Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of it's joy. ~Author unknown~ "Some men see things as they are, and say, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were, and say, 'Why not?'" ~George Bernard Shaw~ A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. ~Athur C Clarke~ For God beholds with his merciful eyes not what you are, nor what you have been -- but what you would be. ~The Cloud of Unknowing~ The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt~ A moment of true peace is like a phantom jewel glittering on a leaf for a supreme pinpint of time and then is gone. ~Unknown~ The truth is found when men are free to pursue it. ~Franklin D. Rooservelt~ To live your life in your own way, to reach for the goals you have set for yourself, To be the you that you want to be........ that is success. ~Unknown
